Armed insurrectionist recalled on 50th anniversary of JFK assassination

That's a clear a rejection of the "monopoly of violence" society demanded by those who would remold ours. And “extremely unlikely” does not equate with “never.” He left that door open as a measure of last resort, when all other peaceable options had failed, essentially adopting a position where he, too, could be accused of treason and executed for it.

Luna Tea Party Patriots continues doing an outstanding job, not only in reporting when nobody (well, almost nobody) else will, but also in providing detailed, insightful and intelligent analysis.

You really ought to familiarize yourself with the details of this story and apprise others, because the fact is, any one of us could find ourselves on the wrong end of a prosecution where we are alone and deprived of resources against the leviathan state -- only to find out most gun owners and self-styled "liberty activists" don't give a damn.

Consuming information and making occasional comments does not make one an activist.

Sadly, I know every time I write about something like this I can practically guarantee the readership will plummet. There are reasons for that I believe are self-evident--dry legal details, too much information for a casual read, there's something more entertaining to focus on... That said, the people who ignore stories like this may someday find themselves in need of help, where only a couple faint voices who care are calling attention to their plight, and they come to realize that aside from that they're on their own, because understanding their ordeal has too many dry legal details, there's too much information for a casual read, there are plenty of things more entertaining to focus on.

Thinking Inside the Box

Remember, the will of the people is limited by the rights of the minority, common sense and the law. Those elements are controlled by the ballot box and the jury box, when those fail in their solemn duty to protect the rights of the minority there is only one more "box" available to the people -- the bullet box, and none of us wants that outcome.

This Day in History: November 22

I think it a duty incumbent upon me to observe, that those most desirable objects are not to be fully attained but by a continuance of those exertions which have already so greatly humbled the power of our inveterate enemies. Relaxation upon our parts will give them time to collect and recover themselves, Whereas a vigorous prosecution of the War, Must inevitably crush their remaining force in these States or put them to the shameful necessity of intirely withdrawing themselves.
